Have you heard the news? He’s back from the past, traveling through time to regain his cowl. It also looks like he’s going to have slight costume changes.

Just recently, I got clued into Gotham by Gaslight, a version of the Batman story set in 1889 where he’s pitted up against Jack the Ripper, who comes to Gotham City, presumably to eat more kidneys.

I have to admit, Batman: The Killing Joke was a bit underwhelming for me.
It’s not that it wasn’t good, or it wasn’t worth the money I paid. Quite the contrary. It was both of those, and how. The origin of Batman’s crazy archnemesis told in an equally manic fashion garners a buy from me anyday. [...]
